I remember when Mohammad sent me a picture of Ahmed tearing down a statue of Saddam Hussein.I texted back to him "That's totally fresh and ironic."He said he was sick of the scene and wanted to try something new, something post-Warhol."Well, my friend", I said, "You did it. It took you years, but you did it".

I later learned Ahmed was the artist and that Mohammad was a CIA agent, but I like to think there's a little bit of Ahmed in Mohammad. And not in the way of Western homosexual decadence.
